"Pepe from Reddi Services arrived quickly after calling that our showers and toilets started to backflow. Found the issue quickly (someone flushed wipes down the toilet clogging the line). Resolved the issue quickly. Sinks, toilets working as expected. Appreciate how quickly the company responded from the time I called to the time Pepe arrived and resolved the issue. Had the septic tank pumped just a year ago so was not expecting any issues. Now informing the 4 women in the household to not flush make-up wipes down the toilets as that seems to be what caused the issue."
"Everything started out fine. He was super professional, friendly and explained everything. When my husband got home I told him what was wrong with it. After taking the toilet apart to replace the wax as instructed we had to buy a whole new toilet. After turning the water back on discovered it was not the toilet at all. It is in the wall behind the shower. We still do not have running water. Then the guy that was supposed to come by and run a camera through our drains for free did not know what I was talking about so he never came by. $138 dollars for absolutely nothing. Thanks."
"My bathroom toilet had a crack and had to be replaced, Ready Rooter arrived on time. The employee explain that the entire toilet has to replaced and quoted a reasonable price. They were respectful of me in my home. They did a Amazing job and did the right way. Thanks to the Company. I'll recommend this company to everybody."
"James was prompted in both dropping by to make an estimate and when he came to install/rebuild the toilets. He was efficient and even came on a Saturday. Great Job. Will use West Plumbing for future plumbing needs."

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.
Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.
Most codes require 15 inches on either side of the toilet's centerline (from the wall or vanity) and at least 21 to 24 inches between the toilet and the wall in front of it. These codes ensure that your toilet is easy to use and access, even in small bathrooms. Check your local building codes for the exact measurements required.
To drain a broken toilet, place towels or plastic sheeting around the base in case of splashing or overflowing. Next, shut off the toilet’s water supply, usually via a valve on the wall behind the toilet. Begin flushing the handle to remove as much water as possible from the tank and the bowl. Don’t flush the toilet if it’s clogged, though. From there, use a large sponge to soak up any remaining water and wring it over a bucket.
Some of the most common bathroom leaks include showers, sinks, and toilets. Most homeowners discover these leaks because of the chronic dripping sound faucets and showers make as water drips to the ground, but a leaky toilet will often appear as a puddle. Inspect your bathroom faucets, showers, and toilets every month to detect leaks quickly.
A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.
